CrystalVoice FX enables the speaker's voice to be altered with a variety of effects, which can be
used to enhance the tone of the speaker's voice, create interesting accents or to sound like a
completely different person.
CrystalVoice Smart Volume automatically adjusts the loudness of the speaker's voice to
maintain a consistent volume level. This makes it convenient for the speaker to converse normally,

Sound Blaster E5 – Troubleshooting and Support
38
Problems with Audio Streaming via USB Host
The Sound Blaster E5 automatically powers off during audio streaming.
When a supported Android device is connected to the Sound Blaster E5 via the USB Host port, the Sound
Blaster E5 will attempt to charge the device. As a result, battery power consumption of the Sound
Blaster E5 increases. When the battery level drops to the minimum, the Sound Blaster E5 automatically
powers off to conserve battery power.
Do the following:
i. Disconnect the Android device.
ii. Charge the Sound Blaster E5 until the battery is full.
Problems with Simultaneous Playback/Recording
An error message appears when recording and playing back simultaneously.
This may occur due to data transfer limitations if your computer is using a USB 1.1 connection. It may
not be possible to play back, or simultaneously record and play back, content at the highest bit rate
and/or frequency supported. Select lower bit depth and sampling rates for reduced CPU consumption
and lower USB bandwidth requirements. Select lower settings if you encounter performance problems
or if you run out of USB bandwidth. Lower sampling and bit depth rates, however, usually result in lower
audio quality.
This should not be a problem if you are using a USB 2.0 connection.
Tips to Improve Your Recording Quality
The Sound Blaster E-Series Control Panel allows you to configure various audio settings to enhance your
recording experience. You may toggle between the pre-configured microphone settings or adjust the
audio configurations, such as microphone input volume, microphone equalizer, microphone boost, etc.
Restore Factory Default Settings
To reset your device to the factory default settings, press the Power button together with the Volume
Control knob for 5 seconds and then release. All settings and configurations made previously on your
device will be erased.

Earphones
l
l
Do not listen to audio on your earbuds or headphones at high volume for prolonged periods of time
as hearing loss may result. For users in the United States, go to www.hei.org for more information.
Do not listen to your audio device at high volume when driving, cycling or crossing the road,
especially in heavy traffic or any other traffic condition where such use will hinder safe travel on the
roads. We recommend that consumers be extremely cautious when using this device on the road.
Avoid Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headphone is used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe
level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging
to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your
hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be
affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
l
Limit the amount of time you use the headphone at high volume.
l
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
l
Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.
Embedded Battery
l
Do not attempt to remove the embedded battery.
The product must be disposed of according to the local environmental regulations. To replace the

IMPORTANT — A LIRE AVEC ATTENTION
Ecouter de manière prolongée, à un très haut volume sonore de la musique (au dessus de 80 decibels),
aumoyen d'un casque ou d'écouteurs, peut entraîner une détérioration irreversible et définitive de vos
facultés auditives. L’usage répété et habituel d’un casque ou d’écouteurs à un niveau de volume
sonoretrop élevé peut donner l'impression à l'utilisateur que le volume sonore émis par l’appareil n'est
pas suffisant. L’utilisateur sera tenté d’augmenter, petit à petit, son réglage habituel, risquant ainsi
d'atteindre un niveau dangereux pour ses oreilles. Afin de protéger votre santé, et vos oreilles, veillez à
maintenir le volume de la sortie casque de votre appareil à un niveau adapté et à interrompre son
utilisation régulièrement et particulièrement si des symptômes, comme des troubles de l'ouïe, se
manifestent.
N'utilisez pas le casque ou les écouteurs pendant la conduite d'une voiture, d'une bicyclette ou de tout
autre véhicule motorisé, afin d'éviter tout accident de le circulation. En outre, il est interdit dans
certains pays d'utiliser un casque ou des écouteurs en conduisant. Il peut être également dangereux
d'écouter à volume élevé tout en marchant, spécialement aux passages piétons. Soyez toujours
extrêment prudent et cessez d'utiliser cet appareil dans les situations présentant des risques d'accident.
Evitez d'utiliser le casque ou les écouteurs à volume élevé. Les médecins spécialistes de l'audition
déconseillent une écoute continue à volume trop élevé. Si vous percevez un sifflement dans les oreilles,
réduisez le volume ou cessez l'écoute.
Maintenez un volume d'écoute modéré. Vous pourrez ainsi entendre les sons extérieurs et être attentif
aux gens qui vous entourent.
Votre produit Creative accompagné des écouteurs fournis, est conforme à la règlementation française
concernant les baladeurs musicaux (Arrêté du 24 Juillet 1998). Les caractéristiques techniques de ces

d'utiliser un autre casque ou d'autres écouteurs, veuillez vous assurer au préalable que leurs
caractéristiques techniques soient les mêmes.
